Oregon Chief Education Officer Rudy Crew advocates that the closing of the achievement gap can be accomplished, "mostly by repurposing existing resources," according to Susan Nelson in The Sunday Oregonian. Crew's belief is absurd. It can't be done. Mr. Crew's principal role at this time should be to lobby state legislators to fund K-12 education in Oregon at the the base level recommended by the Quality Education Commission. Deputy Superintendent of Public Education Rob Saxton and Superintendent of Public Education Governor John Kitzhaber should be doing the same.
